NASCAR: How each of the five remaining playoff drivers can win their way to Homestead-Miami
By Dustin Smith
Wrap up: Who I think will be the 4th and final driver in
Here we go! Five drivers battling for one final spot in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami. Five drivers who I could easily see winning the race on Sunday. So who is my pick to be the last representative in the finals? Brad Keselowski.

Last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, Kevin Harvick won, which solidified his spot in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami. Harvick will head to a track this weekend where he has had nothing but great success. This includes six career wins since 2013. Harvick’s success is why he is my pick to win on Sunday.
This means the last spot will go to the driver with the highest point total, which will be Brad Keselowski. The 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion will be the last representative in the Championship 4 when he finishes in 5th place or better on Sunday.

I wish I had more sizzle in my predictions for this week, but other than Chase Elliott dumping Denny Hamlin late in the race, the points positions wont move a whole lot on Sunday. Either way, we only have two more races to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matt Kenseth race in NASCAR’s top series, which is almost as depressing to think about how there are only two more races left in the season. Who do you predict will gain the last playoff spot this weekend? Will any of the five eligible drivers find victory lane to clinch?
